Turvan Hotel

First - location. It was easy to reach the hotel from the airport. You go on the peron number 17 and wait for Havaist bus number 20 that goes to Sultan Ahmet. You can pay with credit card in the bus, only 18 liras. After one hour you Will be there. If you don't mind walking, its about 10 minutes by foot from Sultanahmet to the hotel. Nothing too much. If you don't want to drag your bags, there is also a tram. Second thing about the location - you can visit most of the stuff by foot. Hagia Sophia, Cisterna Bazilike, blue mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, spice bazaar... If you wish to see Galata tower and Taksim, tram or taxi would be good to use. Third about the location - around the hotel you can find many restaurants and small shops. Number four- extra service. They have Turkish bath, sauna and massage in the basement of the hotel. I had some back pain so I wanted to ease it and also to try this traditional Turkish thing. It was very good and relaxing. If you have time, treat your self with this! Breakfast is included which is good. Although it's pretty basic but at least something to put in your mouth that you dont walk Hungry around Istanbul.

My room was on the 4th floor so WiFi signal was either not available or would Come and go very fast. Thankfuly I got myself Turkish sim card, without that, I'd be pretty unhappy. Breakfast is typical Turkish. It's fine but I've been in Turkey for two weeks now and every morning the same food in three different Hotels. It would be good to enrich the breakfast offer with lets say scrambled eggs in addition to already existing hard boiled eggs. But all in all, it was great!

Staff are friendly, hotel boss is also so friendly

They should only clean more the bathroom after taking a shower
